John Philip Ray

Description:This is a reassessment of how RAF fighters defeated the German Luftwaffe in 1940 and saved Britain from invasion. This book examines significant elements of the battle, including personality clashes in the RAF, opposing policies in the Air Ministry, and the controversial treatment of Hugh Dowding.

Also examined is the effect of this controversy on the fighter pilots' tactics; there is a detailed view from the Luftwaffe side, and also a explanation of why Dowding was immediately "retired" at the end of the conflict, and never rewarded like other successful commanders.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
